It's important -- and necessary -- to start envisioning progressive, alternative economies based on sustainability and local power. We'd like to highlight and promote some of the bottom-up economic solutions that are already making a difference in people’s lives, and connect our community to cutting edge technologies and out-of-the-box solutions like peer-to-peer lending, micro-enterprise, community gardening, community supported agriculture, common security clubs and “collaborative consumption” models like Zipcar, AirBnB, and Kiva.We're excited to help connect budding entrepreneurs with the amazing resources at Hub Ventures.
